I am a happily married, stay-at-home mom of two wonderful but very different boys. We live on a hobby farm, but I know NOTHING about farming. I just know it's pretty out here. I am NO expert on parenting, but my kids are surviving anyway. I want to share my crazy journey because I know how many women are out there just like me!!!!

Hang in There.

This is going to be a very short post. I have written several paragraphs, several times, and deleted them. I know some people who are going through some tough stuff right now, and I cannot intrude on their privacy, so I won't. But today they are all I am thinking about, so I can't think of anything else to write about.

For anyone out there who is struggling, for whom time seems to have stopped or stalled in a dark place, or for whom joy feels so far away--The clock ticks again. You will rise up and out of this, stronger than you were before. You will learn what's important in this life. You will feel sheer joy again, you will stop feeling guilty about laughing. You have people in your life who love you and are pulling for you at every moment. Hang in there.

As one of the people you're talking about in this post, I'd like to encourage anyone else you're talking about in this post to remember that only positive things come out of a positive attitude and that no one ever prospered from despair. In relation to yesterday's post about music I'll quote OneRepublic, "When everything is out, you gotta take it in," cuz ya know, this really could be the good life, its just up to us to make it that way. Remember, even when it's cloudy, the sun really is still there.

About Me

I figure out how to be a parent and a wife by just living one minute at a time, and a lot of experimentation. I have a lot of family around me and I learn from them what to do, and occasionally what not to do! I have SO much respect for the title "Mom", whether she is a stay-at-home mom or a mom with a job outside the house. We are all, I believe, flying by the seats of our pants. So, as my hubby says, "hold on to your bootstraps!"
